Una novela única en clave autoficcional sobre los egos revueltos del boom de la literatura latinoamericana. Publicada en 1981, cuando José Donoso iniciaba su regreso a Chile, El jardín de al lado es una novela sobre el fracaso, aunque también sobre la salvación. Julio Méndez, novelista chileno ya en la cincuentena, exiliado en España y obsesionado por un éxito que no llega, se debate con su ansiedad y sus intuiciones sobre la propia mediocridad, al tiempo que se ve atormentado por las figuras de una todopoderosa agente literaria y del máximo escritor de su tiempo. Desgarrada y tragicómica, cotidiana y patética, la novela explora los laberintos de la marginalidad interior, así como el destierro, las miserias físicas y las ambigüedades del deseo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Chilean writer named Julio and his wife Gloria are beset by worries, constantly bickering about money, their writing, and their son (who may or may not be plying the oldest trade in Marrakesh). When Julio's boyhood best friend, now a famous artist, lends the couple his luxurious Madrid apartment for the summer, it is an escape for both -- in particular for Julio, who fantasizes about the garden next door and the erotic life of the lovely young aristocrat who inhabits it. But Julio's life and career unravel in Madrid: he is rebuffed by a famous literary agent, who detests him and his novel; his son's friend from Marrakesh moves in and causes havoc; and Gloria begins to drink. In the face of pitiless adversity, Julio's talent inexorably begins to fade. With The Garden Next Door, Jose Donoso has rendered a carefully crafted and bitterly comic meditation on gardens, deceit, and the nature of a writer's muse.Shipping Notes

Good support but a little stiff
Color: Black, Size: 36DDD
The fit is great. I purchased 36 DDD. Just a little stiff and hurts after wearing for a long time.

Comfortable fit, looks great
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38C, Color: Light Beige, Size: 38C
Perfect fit, fabulous summer bra, lightly lined.
When I opened the bra and saw the wrinkles looking like a over washed bra, I had my concerns.
My girls filled the cups and the wrinkles on the cups went smooth. The bra is comfortable from the box, no wearing in needed, as it should be.

Uncomfortable after several wears
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38DD
When I first tried it on, it seemed to fit and be comfortable, so I decided to keep it however, after wearing it for less than a month, it has become very uncomfortable and the side boning does not stay put, and bends which makes it very uncomfortable and digs into the skin. Bummer because I did like the very light foam padding, which is hard to find in a minimizer.

Uncomfortable
It is not comfortable. It’s runs small. The mesh is rough. The boning digs into my skin. The material doesn’t feel soft at all. It’s not the amount I paid for it either. I don’t understand what they mean by stretchy- what is stretchy? It did lift my bust and looks great under a t-shirt. I’m not sure how durable it is. Straps are adjustable.

Excellent fit for me!
Color: Light Beige, Size: 38D
Of all clothing, only shopping for swimsuits is a worse chore than shopping did bras. After a always trying many brand, this obesity was clear winner. Nice "breathable" fabrics for sides and back, inner cup side support gives nice shaping. Size chart was accurate. Stays in place, but comfortable and not too tight. I was shopping for fit and comfort and didn't buy to minimize. I don't really think I look smaller but I do look nicer.
